Marienkirche (St. Mary’s Church), Berlin
Posted by happysteps on 20 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Europe, Germany |
One of the familiar buildings near Alexanderplatz is the Marienkirche or St. Mary’s Church. Since visitors are allowed to go inside, the curious me decided to take a peek.
There was an ongoing renovation that time, with some temporary steel framework set up at the left side and the right side pews arranged facing to the left. Nevertheless one can still appreciate some of the artistic parts of the church such as the ceiling vault, the pipe organ above the church entrance, and the detailed artwork in the pulpit.
Here are some of the church photos:

Marienkirche is one of the oldest churches in Berlin along with Nikolaikirche, with most of its structure made of brick and granite.
